Musings on anything.

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

In response to "Recyclables"

I used to have a hard time letting stuff go if it was just going to be thrown in the trash. But like you, I tend to use stuff (especially clothing) until it wears out, so I've had to come to terms with the fact that I got my money's worth out of it and nobody needs a shirt with a hole in it, or a pair of shoes with no treads on them anymore.

In response to "Decluttering"

I don't feel I've acquired much, since my wife passed. On the other hand, I've not made much of an effort to "thin the herd" either, so I think I have a fairly good picture of what you're facing. Best of luck!

In response to "Anticipation"

Congratulations on getting a new computer! Sounds like it will definitely be a relief once you're all set up at home with your wifi so you don't have to go to the library anymore!

In response to "Dental Hygienists"

I have the same issue with my dentist. They really push to have their clients come in every six months, but if I ever have to reschedule, they go, "Well the next available appointment we have is four months from now."

In response to "Clothing Center"

I bought 4 pair of second-hand socks today... hopefully woolen. They are kinder to my feet.

I mostly wear second-hand clothes. A few items I've had for over 15 years.

In response to "Marigolds"

I had a friend who could grow four-o'clocks along her foundation. Some perennials are semi-hardy. My geraniums are geriatric. I only have two left.

I have a marigold coming up from seed now but I'll be gone 5 weeks. We'll see.

In response to "Unisex Bathrooms?"

Single occupant toilet rooms may be the future; but, I still remember a unisex bathroom in Turkey with individual enclosed stalls (not semi-open which is common in the US).

In response to "Is Being Old So Bad?"

Good thoughts here

I marvel at the things I'll be able to tell my grandkids about someday. Life is accelerating - or maybe it just feels that way!

Take care

In response to "Birthday Parties"

It's cool you got to spend time with family, even if some of that time was threatened by a decibel-level event.

I completely sympathize with your desire to declutter. I have more stuff than you can shake a stick at that didn't actually belong to just my wife or myself throughout the house.

In response to "Fan Fiction"

As I understand it, the legal aspects of doing fan fiction only come into effect if you try to make money or some tangible benefit for yourself. You can write whatever for fun. Otherwise, you need to get permission.

Halloween Music

Besides movie themes, like Ghostbusters, or the music from The Nightmare Before Christmas, there are songs we might consider Halloween music. First in mind is Michael Jackson's Thriller, or Ghosts, the latter not heard as often.

Going way back there is The Purple People Eater, sung by Sheb Wooley, who was a regular actor on Rawhide. He did comical songs that my brothers and I liked to hear. And who can forget The Monster Mash? (a graveyard smash)

It may be stretching the idea, but there was a song by The Classics IV called Spooky (little girl like you). Charlie Brown must have turned some carols into pumpkin songs, but they aren't memorable.

I'm sure we could come up with more, especially if we stretch the words a little.
